Q. Last week the Royal Commission into the aged care system released its findings and recommendations.
A major recommendation was the introduction of a levy on all taxpayers to pay for the costs of aged care, similar to the Medicare levy.
To what extent do you support or oppose the introduction of an aged care levy?
